Activity of succinate dehydrogenase from peripheral blood lymphocytes in girls with sexual maturation disturbance of chromosome genesis

: We carried out a comparative analysis of activity of enzymes characterizing metabolic (SDG) and catabolic (KF) processes in immune system cells of 195 girls with sexual maturation disturbance of chromosome (Shereshevsky-Terner syndrome--STS) and non-chromosome genesis. KF activity was similar in the compared groups and 14 control girls, while SDG activity and FSH levels were much higher in STS girls compared to control girls and girls with amenorrhea of non-chromosome genesis. Thus, FSH has a considerable influence upon metabolic parameters of immune system cells.
